Description
When an iOS app includes only the Live Caller ID app extension, calling `LiveCallerIDLookupManager.openSettings()` does not open the expected Call Blocking & Identification screen under Phone settings.
The workaround is to also include a com.apple.callkit.call-directory app extension in the app bundle. After adding the Call Directory extension, the expected Call Blocking & Identification settings screen becomes available. You could also install another iOS app (e.g., Truecaller) that uses the Call Directory app extension, to get the settings screen available.
This is more an iOS Settings / CallKit issue rather than an issue in this example repository. I am opening it here mainly as a note for other developers implementing the feature.

Research direction
The issue names LiveCallerIDLookupManager.openSettings() and the CallKit app-extension configuration, but no repository file or test is identified. Start by checking the example's documentation for Live Caller ID settings guidance; done would be a clear note that the Call Directory extension is required or that this is an iOS Settings/CallKit limitation.
